Chapter 466: Sleepy Demon vs. A-Zu
The Sandman had come to his world once before.

In the years since Dream God was kidnapped, the dream kingdom has undergone tremendous changes.

The dream was fragmented and decayed, and the residents and subordinates here left one after another for various reasons. Only the loyal librarian Lucian was left waiting for her master.

"I must get my magic weapon back."

The Sleeper said to Lucian who was greeting him.

The two walked in the dilapidated church, and the Sandman said to his subordinates in a serious tone, "I need the help of the goddess of fate."

Lucian, who had beautiful blonde hair and was wearing a loose robe, holding a book in her hand, hesitated and said, "But the goddess of fate always likes to ask for too much."

Lucian frowned slightly and said to him, "She will ask for many things beyond our expectations, and even if her projection comes, it may cause unrest in the world. She is too dangerous."

"But this is the price. I know the danger for her, but I have to do it."

The Sleepy Man said as he looked up into the distance.

In the dark waters, the Sandman stood on the shore.

It was a place as quiet as stagnant water, exuding a strange smell.

Lucian stood beside him and reminded him, "Master, you almost got into trouble the last time you walked on the water."

The Sandman looked at the black water and said to Lucian, "Do you think I have forgotten how to cross?"

Facing the dissatisfied look from her master, Lucian explained: "I'm sorry, I just..."

"I know what you mean, Lucian, but I can't ask for the help of the Goddesses of Fate without giving them what they want."

As he spoke, the Sandman looked down at the calm water.

"There is nothing left to give in the dream world. I can only look for it in other people's dreams."

Lucian's brow furrowed slightly, "But in your absence, these waters have become darker, more mysterious, and unpredictable."

The Sleepy Man nodded, lowered his body and looked towards the black water.

He bent down and placed a few grains of sand in his hand into the water.

The moment it touched the sand gleaming with silver light, a figure appeared on the surface of the black water.

That is the reflected shadow of the sleep man.

A shadow that is almost identical to his real self, with a pair of evil eyes.

The Sleepy Man slowly stretched out his hand towards the water.

Although he knew that the waters ahead were full of dangers, he had to take the risk in order to cross the dreamland and find offerings to the goddess of fate.

"Wow!"

The shadow reflected on the surface of the black water reached out and grabbed the sleep demon, pulling him into the black water.

The sleeper was directly pulled into the black water by the shadow.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, he faced this nightmare creature that didn't recognize him and released a force of pressure that enveloped the water area.

After repelling the nightmare monster, he immediately used the black water to travel to different dream worlds.

The Sandman first entered the dream of a Cambodian farmer.

Cambodian farmers driving ox carts walked slowly along the country roads.

Then the farmer drove his bullock cart to the crossroads.

The Sleepy Man quietly watched the farmer leave the intersection, then he transformed into a pair of large hands and grabbed the crossroads on the side of the road.

The crossroads that he grabbed with his big hands turned into a cross in his hands.

After obtaining the cross, Sandman leaves the Cambodian peasant's dream and enters a Japanese dream world.

A young Japanese moviegoer, a female audience member whose mind was full of British horror films, dreamed of herself being hanged on the gallows.

Following an order from the church man, the pedal was released with a "creak" and the Japanese woman was hanged on the gallows with her head covered.

The sleep demon that entered the woman's dream stood in the crowd and watched her being hanged.

He then walked to the gallows.

The hanged man represents surrender and sacrifice for all.

He was very sure that this was what the goddess of fate needed.

After obtaining the gallows, Sandman continued to travel through the black water.

Using the black water to continuously travel through the dream world, he gradually felt the rapidity of the water.

This forced him to concentrate, open his eyes, see through the confusing dreams, and find what the goddess of fate needed most.

Overcoming the interference of the black water, he suddenly entered the dream of a Nevada farmer.

Standing in the barn of the farm, Sandman saw a black-scaled snake coiled inside and approached carefully.

After seeing the person coming, the black-scaled snake stood up and bit fiercely.

The Sleepy Man quickly grabbed the black-scaled snake and stuffed it into the bag.

The snake symbolizes rebirth and is the last gift he wants to find.

In this way, all three treasures were found by him.

The cross, gallows and snake represent new life, death and rebirth respectively. This is his gift to the goddess of fate.

After returning to the Dream Kingdom, the Sandman began to use the three treasures to summon the Goddess of Fate.

"I, the King of Dreams, Morpheus, the God of Endless Dreams, summon the Goddess of Fate."

Holding the cross, the sleep demon whispered to summon the goddess.

As he spoke, rumbling sounds were heard in the dark kingdom of dreams.

"The Trinity, the Trinity, the Goddess Hecate"

As he chanted, a figure slowly appeared in front of him.

Three women with images of glittering silver keys on their heads gathered their upper bodies together and looked at him coldly.

In the center is a middle-aged woman in her prime, to her left is a young woman, and to her right is an elderly woman. "Morpheus, long time no see, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

Hecate, the middle-aged woman in the middle, who was summoned by her, greeted him.

The Sleeper was quite wary of Hecate, the originator of all magic.

Hecate was no ordinary goddess.

When magic first appeared at the dawn of time, it was gentle, raw, and full of potential.

Magic surrounded the unformed multiverse and created a form for itself, Hecate, the first life in the universe.

She then began to visit the center of the multiverse, Earth, and observed the growth of humanity.

Hecate gave humans magic, allowing them to grow into gods.

It can be said that all gods on earth originated from Hecate.

She is also the source of all magic.

"Have you eaten anything, Morpheus?"

As soon as the middle-aged woman finished asking, the old woman next to her said, "Yes, he is hungry, but he is not short of food. Look at his expression, he wants something."

"Being discovered by you, I do want something."

The sleep demon said to the other party slowly: "I want your help."

As he said this, he presented the gift he had prepared.

"This is my gift."

"A gift? If that's what you mean, it's great."

Hecate said to him with satisfaction: "Now, you can ask us three questions, and each of us will answer you one."

"Thank you, ladies."

The Sandman thanked Hecate, "My first question, I have a sandbag full of sand, where is it?"

The youngest female of the Trinity replied to him, "Peter Padrick, a farmer and a strong human being who is not disturbed by the fate of the world, finally got the sandbag."

"Why is he not disturbed by the fate of the world?"

"You know the rules, Oneiroi. You can only answer a question once."

The young woman said to him.

"sorry."

The Sandman bowed his head and apologized to the other party. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "My second question is, where is my helmet?"

The middle-aged woman looked towards him, and a picture immediately unfolded before the Sleeping Man's eyes.

On Smallwell's farm, masks are piled up in dusty boxes in an inconspicuous barn.

"In Peter Padrick's hands, this world has almost become a wheel of fate centered around him. The power of the world lingers around him. Your helmet is in this strange farm."

The Sandman frowned and asked, "What does he represent? Even you can't interfere with him?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head at him, "Answer one question at a time."

The Sandman took a deep breath, "One last question, where is my ruby?"

Looking at the old woman opening her mouth, Sleepy suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be this Peter Patrick again?
"In Peter Padrick's hands, your ruby ​​was used to create a more powerful life form, and it became a weapon that he could not fail."

The old woman really said Peter Patrick's name.

Frowning, the sleep demon continued to ask the other party: "How can I defeat him?"

As soon as the Sleep Demon finished speaking, the three goddesses of Hecate uttered a sound that shook the air and made the kingdom of dreams tremble.

"You have run out of questions!"

"Crack!"

With the sudden thunder, Hecate disappeared from his sight.

Gazing at the disappearing goddess of fate, the Sandman whispered Peter's name again, and his expression became solemn.

Smallwell Farm.

Peter went to the Kent farm, Kara, Rhea and Star-Lord went to a nearby supermarket. At this time, only Zu, Raven and Zatanna were left on the farm.

The sleepy man, wearing a black windbreaker, stood outside the farm, quietly looking at the farm in front of him which gave him a different feeling.

Especially the birch tree in the courtyard, which exuded a strange energy and made him unable to look away for a long time.

"Do you have any question?"

Seeing the Sleepyhead standing outside with "bad intentions", A-Zu walked out, stood in front of the Sleepyhead and asked.

"No, I'm just looking for someone."

The Sleep Demon replied to A-Zu in a calm tone.

"Who?"

"Peter Padrick."

When Zu heard the Sandman say Peter's name, his eyes immediately turned unfriendly.

"What do you want to do?"

He could sense that the guy in front of him was unusual.

"Get my stuff back."

"your things?"

A-Zu crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly, "Everything on this farm belongs to the Padrick family. There is nothing here that belongs to you!"
